It will be a first for Lacey' Lou Vircillo on Friday night when he coaches his first home night game.

What happened to "donuts" at Dunkin? The Mets improbable scoring on 9/11 and a rethinking of pictures of grandchildren are just a few of my thoughts.

The tolerance and patience we had for one another in the days after 9/11/01 have long faded.

Grilling, holiday weekends, shorts and ice cream are some of the things I will miss about summer.

For what it’s worth I think the Giants are a six-win team this year the Jets should be around .500 and Eagles fans will have a lot to cheer about if this team stays healthy.

The Shore Conference is made up of 43 football-playing schools and all but 11 open this weekend even though it’s officially week zero.

Here’s hoping the 2019-20 school year will be a good one and most importantly a safe one in Ocean County.

The end of the season is another indication that, dare I say it, summer is coming to a close.

We celebrated my son Brandon's 34th birthday and the end of summer with a barbeque at my brother's catered by his neighbor's fledgling business.
